Why this recipe will work

• Very healthy and perfect for dinner, making it a classy yet memorable.
• Fish is filled with juices and olives, making it super savory, a treat to your taste buds.

What's in my Baked Fish?

• Basa fillet: Any white fish fillet is perfect for this recipe, like cod, halibut, haddock, tilapia, catfish, and snapper.
• Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes are perfect for this dish and can be substituted with any other tomatoes. Make sure you cut them into medium chunks.
• Olives: If you don't like olives, capers are a great substitute.
• Butter: This can be substituted with olive or any cooking oil for great taste.
• Fresh herbs for flavour and taste.

How to make the best Baked Fish

• Make sure the oven is preheated to high heat, 400 degrees F.
• Coat both sides of the fish with the dry ingredients.

• Add and heat oil in a skillet and sear both sides of the fish. This is just to sear the fish to have a charred look. Remove and set aside.

• In the same skillet, sauté the tomatoes and olives with all the ingredients for a few minutes, then transfer the fish into the pan, put the butter on the fish, and bake in the preheated oven till cooked through.

NOTE: If your pan isn't oven-safe, transfer it to a baking sheet, grease it with oil, or line it with parchment paper.
